Chapter Summary

This section includes demographic facts and figures such as area, population, land boundaries, religions and ethnic groups of Kazakhstan. Archaeologists have identified the remains of about 200 Neolithic settlements, spread over the entire territory of Kazakhstan. A new nation, the Turkic people, formed many states in the centre of Eurasia, many great steppe confederations and empires from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries. This book is a concise introduction to the culture and history of the vast territory of Kazakhstan, equivalent to the size of Western Europe, located at the centre of geographical Eurasia.
